I had planned on sharing the photos I took on my own webpage, but Chester's BLOG ENTRY about his own birthday is much more effective at explaining what happened. Especially exciting was all of the singing, and I hope to post some videos one of these days. (by the way, this entry is really late. i'm trying to catch up...)

At the end of the evening, I had to copy a couple of gigabytes of images onto Chester's notebook through a USB 1.1 interface. Cindy and I were incredulous that someone who runs a couple of local computer stores would use a USB 1.1 card reader instead of one that supports USB 2.0. Plus, 2 GB at USB 1.1 takes roughly 30 minutes. As a response to our heckling, Chester replied (with much wit), "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!"
